Hi, I am facing problems issuing dd to raw disks from windows 2k3 server thru cygwin.
dd if/dev/zero of="\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE4" count=50000 seek =3 fails with the error dd: opening `\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE4': Invalid argument But it works the other way, I mean if i give "\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE4" as the input device and /dev/null as the output device. Any hints/clues ? Thanks Anees __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Get better spam protection with Yahoo!
